Living Life to Its Fullest

 Have you ever put up a mirror in front of yourself and really gained some perspective on what is looking back at you? I mean truly see yourself inside for who you are and not what you wish to be. Yes, I know it is not easy, because the truth hurts, but on the other hand if you can accept the truth for what it is, you have a chance to change who you are if you are not at peace with what you see. Realistically the only constant is change. If you like who you are and live by your values and not the world's values you will find and abundance of contentment.

Self-love is an important concept, but please do remember that if you are not taking care of yourself mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally you won't have the ability to take care of others. Please do remember that charity begins at home! Home to me is my mind, because I am inside of myself  24 hours a day. By saying that I also recall that home is where the heart is. Thus love yourself first and then you will learn to love other in a way that you never imagined. Do this and your love shed will never run dry.

Live and let life is a phrase that I live my life by. When you truly understand the concept that you need to star in your own life, as you are going to live with only yourself for the rest of your life. You will definitely keep your judging away from others and turn it to yourself to investigate yourself. This will surely provoke you to realise that you have one life and it is best to start living your own life. Write your own story and do not try to write others' stories with you imaginative mind. If you are creative in that way start writing stories, because this world needs more entertainment. Make this concept working for you and your heart will never run out of peace.

Action speaks louder than words; is used so often, but it seems that the weight of the meaning of those words are taken so lightly. Why do we deem ourselves saints if we use these words in such a hypocritical way? Correct, it is a way in which we soothe our conscience. We say one thing but do another, because our ego is so scared it will get hurt if we reveal our true-self to the world. When you can lay down you ego and not try to protect yourself from feeling ashamed you will be motivated to pursue happiness and not pretend that you are this godly statue. Remember the natural enemy of the ego is change. The ego thinks change will be painful. But when change is for the better it will truly enlighten us and this will humble you to a mammoth extend. Start leading by example and do not shout to the void.

This is just a few things you can do to change your current reality to a great reality. If you honestly do this your existence will change into living.

Kicking old beliefs to the curb

 I woke up this morning to a cloudy and cool Cape Town. Gratitude filled my soul. You see this is my favourite type of weather. It makes me realise that rain bring growth and new life about. Just like that if I allow the good to live in my heart and radiate to the external world I grow and new pure acts are brought to my life aligning me with my purpose. I feel deeply beholden to the mentors in my life that shaped my journey towards empowerment and self-discovery. Another thought I reflected on is all the beliefs I have left behind, the ones that once held me back, and how I made space for new, lighter, happier truths. Let's unravel the beliefs that once shaped me, and the ones that set me free: Challenging Inherited Truths: Rethinking Right and Wrong We grow up learning that certain ideas, actions, or perspectives are wrong,  not because they truly harm or mislead, but simply because they don’t align with the values we were handed. And while traditions can offer wisdom, they ...

Cleaning out home

We often hear the saying, “Charity begins at home,” yet we rarely pause to ask: What is home, really? For many, it’s come to mean a structure—a house, a street address, a container for belongings. But I believe we’ve been lulled into a limited idea of home, one that keeps us tethered to the physical and the external. Home, as I’ve come to understand it, is not a building at all. It’s the soul—the inner sanctuary where our truest self has been waiting patiently for us to return. To return home is not to pack a bag or ring a doorbell. It is to re-enter the deepest part of ourselves. The part that is quiet but not empty. Still, but not stagnant. The part that remembers who we are beyond what the world taught us to be. But just like any home, this one needs tending. It gathers dust—old beliefs, societal expectations, comparisons, shame, false identities. We’re told who we should be, how we must act, what we’re worth—and without realising it, we start decorating the walls of our soul-hom...
